First date felony: After Livermore winery date, woman charged with $7,000 vandalism

LIVERMORE — Perhaps this romance just wasn’t meant to be.

A first date between a man and a woman at a Livermore winery ended with the man filing a police report on battery and vandalism charges, claiming that their rendezvous went so badly, she shoved him they keyed his car, causing $7,000 in damage, as he filmed her with his cellphone. Now, Alameda County prosecutors have filed a felony case against the woman, court records show.

The woman, a 40-year-old resident of Salida, a census designated place in Stanislaus County, was charged with a single count of felony vandalism. Police allege she keyed the man’s Acura SUV, and shoved his arm out of the way as he filmed it. She wasn’t charged with the shoving.

The two went on a first date at a winery on the 5000 block of Arroyo Road in Livermore last July 13, the charging documents say. The woman was charged on Dec. 10 and hasn’t yet appeared in court, records show.

The man, an Alameda County resident, told police they met up as planned but got into an “altercation” that ended the date. That’s when she allegedly walked into the parking lot and keyed his car. The man called police and later identified her out of a photo lineup, court records show
